Stay With me

Chapter: 002

It's been 5 months since I moved in and I really feel home. Jazz showed me around and we've gotten more close than we were and life here is good, so far. I've even made a new friend, Morgan, she's kind and has an attitude that clearly doesn't attract bad vibes.

After moving here I've felt... Free?
As if nothing can stop me from being myself.

Today my aunt is taking me to buy a car for me since I keep asking everyone around the house to take me places.
I've even used that excuse to be around Noah more.

Who's Noah you ask? The guy that literally stays in the room next to mine, the guy that barged into my room 5 months ago.

I know yeah, I kinda feel crazy for using a car as an excuse, but you all might be thinking now that I'm getting a car how will I spend time with him if not the reason above?

Well I have a plan figured out, i also think i might need help too. Maybe a therapist.

"Michaela! Are you coming or not?" I hear my aunt screaming from downstairs. I rush downstairs out the huge doors and into my aunts SUV.

After a good 20 minutes we finally reach our desired destination. We walk inside and I'm already eyeing one car. A ford fusion.

She started her sentence telling me to choose but as soon as she started I pointed my finger toward it. Honestly she said the price doesn't matter much. Also I'm not sure if she was joking or not...

After paying and filling out forms etc, we went to MacDonald's and ate lunch. Me and my aunt caught up about the last 10 years and suddenly her phone rang. Her expression went from carefree to tensed and she looked up at me shocked.

I gave her a questioning face and she stood up accepting the call. I tried listening but I could only hear a sniffle here and there. She came and sat in front of me, her eyes watering, teardrops rolling down her eyes taking her expensive make up with.

"Whats wrong?" I ask worriedly. "Its Noah. He's - he's missing, for about 2 days and I haven't even noticed!" She whisper yells. "W-wait what? No no you're mistaken he can't be gone... Can he?"

We went home that evening my feet dragging across the polished wooden floors. When I reached the 2nd floor I started walking slower. As soon as I was in front of Noah's room I stopped dead in my tracks, facing his door.

I took a step towards the wooden door opening it revealing his room with his bed in the middle. I felt a warm tear drop falling down my cheek, pushing to win the race against another. I started walking inside closing the door behind me, climbing in his bed crying myself to sleep.

I know what you must be thinking? Isn't this girl to attached to a boy she barely knows? Yeah probably. Not love at first sight, nor a crush. Its called a connection.

I woke up to the ringing of my phone.

Caller ID
Unknown

Even I'm not crazy enough to pick a phone up at 11:50pm!

So I left it and let it ring for at least 5 times. Bad. Idea. I eventually picked it up.

"H-hello?"

"Mic? Is that you?"
"Who is this?"
"Its Noah"
"Noah? Where are you?"
"I can't tell you but don't trust anyone! Not even your aunt don't believe the stories you're told either!"

I wanted to ask what is happening but the line went dead. And this was just the begging, of an end.
